Good Press Cafe at 21c St. Louis

Great coffee and decent snacks. I got a cortado and chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was pretty mediocre, but the coffee was nice. There aren’t a ton of coffee options in downtown St. Louis so this stands out as one of the better ones – better than Starbucks, at least. The space is a little crowded and noisy.

Cute coffee shop inside a hotel! Loved the ambiance and the black walnut latte I had was fantastic. The avocado toast was decent but I wish the bread was bigger, pretty small. A bit pricey.

Had a delicious hot caramel latte and breakfast burrito. Staff was very informative and friendly. The atmosphere was modern (would have liked slightly larger tables but we made do). After we finished eating we went up to the 2nd floor of the hotel to enjoy the art galleries - saw some very cool, unique art (one made from capsules, one made from stickers, and some made from sequins). Re Parking: we did metered parking. Great experience and would recommend and return.

Lovely atmosphere for a coffee shop. I’ll definitely be back. The plants are a nice touch and the design overall felt warm, bright, energizing and a tad luxurious. Service was excellent. The woman who helped me was pleasant, helpful and made a good cappuccino! And she told me about their handmade syrups and menu options too.

A true espresso shop as so needed in this area. Great cappuccino done correctly. Pastries were also delicious. Super attentive and friendly staff. This is located inside the hotel. Just go on main door, up the stairs into the lobby and turn right. Lots of seating.

A Culinary & Design Gem in St. Louis: Good Press Café This morning’s visit to Good Press in St. Louis was nothing short of exceptional—a seamless blend of thoughtful gastronomy and interior sophistication that speaks to both the palette and the eye. From the moment you step inside, Good Press commands attention. Its interiors evoke a boutique sensibility that balances artistry, heritage, and bold modernity. With unapologetic use of luxe tones, rich textures, and an eclectic yet harmonious interplay of patterns and color palettes, the space challenges conventional design norms. As an interior designer, I found myself rethinking boundaries—this café dares to mix with purpose and style, and it does so with absolute finesse. Equally impressive is the culinary offering. Every dish was prepared with remarkable attention to detail, and the quality of the ingredients—especially the pasteurized selections—was nothing less than a chef’s kiss. The flavors were clean, intentional, and elegant without being overstated. And then, there’s the staff: welcoming, authentic, and refreshingly warm. Their sincere hospitality rounds out the experience, making it feel more like a curated lifestyle moment than just a casual breakfast outing. Good Press is not merely a café—it’s an immersion into taste, texture, and thoughtfully layered design. If you’ve yet to experience it, consider this your invitation to elevate your morning. Go—linger a little longer, savor a little deeper.
